A CIRCLE OF WRITERS

Event Location:

Community Room

Contact:

845-772-7586

*Program Held in the Community Room on First and Third Tuesdays of each month.*
This writing workshop is for those who want to share their written work, either as a work-in-progress or as a fully developed piece, in a circle with other writers who understand that a good question will do more to help the writer than any criticism. After all, would you squash a seedling for not being a plant yet? After the reading of a piece, the first go-around will be for members of the circle to share with the writer what they think is working; the second go-around will be for the writer to ask his or her own questions – his or her own worries about the piece; the third-go-around will be for members of the circle to ask their own specific questions. All forms of writing are welcome, i.e. short story, poem, script, essay, performance art piece, letter-to-the-editor, journal entry. Writing is a solitary job but it can be a joy to share one's work in the fellowship of other writers in an actively supportive environment. Facilitator: Mikell Zacharia Charge: Free *It is anticipated this workshop will require approximately 10 registrants to be effective* Mikell Zacharia is a full-time writer of poetry, short stories, scripts for stage and screen, who also does performance art pieces and storytelling at open-mics.
